It’s Casino Night again! Don’t forget to play Double Deuce Poker, Panda Pai Gow, and
Jokers Wild.

Some people have reported being able to get their 6,000 tokens twice during the day, once in the morning and once later in the evening. Good luck!

It’s another Bingo Night — don’t forget to play Bingo Luau (Wednesday evening or Thursday) on the UK site for your 6,000 free tokens!

Pogo’s given us a gift today in the form of Gifting Services! We’re now able to give other players items for their minis, Mix-n-Match badges, and Premium Badge Albums.

Update: If you’re a privacy nut but your profile is still public, you’ll want to make sure you adjust your Gift Settings (which can be found by going to the “My Gifts” link on your home page, then choosing “Gift Settings” from the left sidebar). If you were to receive a gift and open it, by default the item, the sender’s name, and the message they included with the gift would be displayed on your profile to whoever has rights to see it. Make sure to check the boxes for “Keep sender names private” and “Keep messages private” to stop that from happening.

In addition, we got a release full of holiday items today as well! There’s just over a page full of new backgrounds, goodies, and clothing for our minis!

Update 11/19: they’ve added 3 more items to this release, all token items. Hooray! Thanks MomsBassetHound for letting us know about today’s mini Mini release!

And last, but not least, they’ve put up a free token offer (which we’ll also add to our Free Tokens page) to celebrate gift-giving!

Thanks, as always, to everyone who wrote in to let us know about these new additions!

Pogo’s got another sweepstakes running from November 13th through 27th in Battleship. According to the official rules, each time you load the game you’ll be entered to win a prize pack with 8 Touchscreen Pocket Pogo Games (um, there are only 7…) and $500. One winner will get the big package, ten others will win one Touchscreen Pocket Pogo game. Good luck!

Thanks to jaredph for letting us know about this sweepstakes!

Fans of MyCokeRewards (and the fact you can use your points for Club Pogo subscriptions), we have good news! The promotion has been extended and will keep going in 2010!

2010 Program Extension::More Good Times are Coming Your Way

We’ve got some great news for you; My Coke Rewards will keep going in 2010. With millions of more ways to grab points from some new brands and packages, you can keep rewarding yourself all year long. The points you have already picked up will carry over and there will be no interruption in code entry. Check out the new rules after January 1 for complete details and dates.

For those of you unfamiliar with the promo, here are some details:

You can earn MyCokeRewards points for entering codes from Coca-Cola brand products. Once you’ve saved up enough rewards points, you can turn them in to get free stuff — like Club Pogo subscriptions. The deal is pretty sweet: one month of Club Pogo is 75 points, 3 months is 250, and a full year is only 550 points. (For what it’s worth, a 12-pack of Coke products will earn you 10 points, and bottles are worth 3.) When you use your points to get a Club Pogo subscription, they’ll send you a Club Pogo pass code via email with instructions to add the time to your account; like all Club Pogo passes, the time is added to the end of your current subscription.

Visit mycokerewards.com and search for “Club Pogo” for more information.

Thanks to MomsBassetHound for letting us know this promo has been extended!

This is the last week that Pogo is offering free tokens in their Tips with Tokens Wednesdays. You’ll get 1010 tokens the first time you play each of 10 games.

If the above-linked page isn’t working for you, use these direct links to the games that will give you 1010 free tokens each:

Trivial Pursuit Daily 20
Backgammon
Hearts
Stack’em
Lottso! Express
Euchre
Chess
Tumble Bees
Checkers
Payday FreeCell

If you’re not receiving your free tokens, check out this FAQ from Pogo, you may have to play through one whole game to be awarded your tokens no matter what the pop-up window says. (We have yet to hear of anyone who has had to play through a game to receive their tokens, this is probably just another case of Pogo’s customer support being wrong again.)

Even though the offer states “Tokens are awarded once”, you can get them each week. The pop-up windows that show you token awards also gives you a tip on how to play the game. Enjoy!

Pogo’s holding a daily 1 Million Token Sweepstakes! Between now and November 2nd, you can earn up to 10 entries a day by loading one of the following games:

Word Whomp
Bingo Luau
First Class Solitaire
Mahjong Safari
BOGGLE Bash
Spades
High Stakes Pool
Sweet Tooth
Jigsaw Treasure Hunter
Pogo Bowl

There are 12 prizes: each winner will receive 1 million tokens and (what we think is the coolest part of the prize) a Spike plush toy. The chances of winning are pretty slim: winners will be determined by random drawing once every day between October 22, 2009 and November 2, 2009 from all eligible entries received. The best way to maximize your chances is to start getting entries as early as possible so by the last draw you have 120 entries. Good luck!
